Delivering experiences that bring families together to create memories that last a lifetime is at the heart of everything we do, including our Disney Citizenship efforts. We support community organizations that provide opportunities for children to learn and grow with the support of nurturing adults such as family members or mentors.

Every year, we continue Walt Disney’s commitment to philanthropy and outreach. Through contributions, collaborations with local organizations, in-kind gifts, and cast member volunteerism, we are proud to help enrich the global communities where we live, work, and play.

Our commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation has always been an important part of our business. We embed environmental thinking into our daily decisions – from using alternative fuels to power our attractions to installing more efficient lighting in our hotels. We reduce waste through recycling, reuse, and repurposing. We find creative ways to conserve energy and water. With a strong focus on protecting ecosystems, we aim to save wildlife. And we provide enriching opportunities to connect kids and families to nature.

When Walt Disney envisioned Disneyland he saw an environment where families could have fun together in a safe and clean atmosphere. Safety remains a top priority and is the first of four quality standards - followed by courtesy, show and efficiency - that guide the operational decisions of more than 135,000 cast members worldwide.

Fostering a safe, inclusive, respectful, and fun workplace is essential to our business. We invest in the ongoing development of our cast members, crew members, and Imagineers through a full spectrum of training and opportunities for personal growth. We also promote programs and resources to help cast members and their families live healthier lifestyles. We value that our heritage includes a commitment to quality, ethics, and social responsibility and believe our investment in a top-quality workplace is why so many choose to join us.
